The '''[[Kawasaki]] Vulcan 750''' was a v2, [[four-stroke]] Cruiser [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Kawasaki]] between 1984 and 2006. It could reach a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 47.21 ft/lbs (64.0 Nm) @ 6000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 65.98 HP (49.2 KW) @ 7500 RPM.
The Kawasaki VN750, also known as the Vulcan 750, is a 750 cc class cruiser-style motorcycle build from 1985 to 2006. The Vulcan 750 was [[Kawasaki]]'s first cruiser and first V-twin engine introduced in late 1984 as the 1985 model
 
Kawasaki introduced the 750 cc class Vulcan worldwide in 1985. Due to [[1980s motorcycle tariff|tariff restrictions]] in the United States on bikes over 700 cc imported from Japan, the initial US spec model was limited to 699 cc and called the [[Kawasaki VN700A|Kawasaki Vulcan 700]]. The tariff was lifted in 1986, and all bikes from then until the production run
 
ended in 2006 were 749 cc. The US name was changed to Vulcan 750 to reflect this The VN750 remained largely unchanged throughout its 22-year production run with only minor adjustments to the components and varying paint schemes. The
VN750 was unique in its class by featuring a more reliable engine usually found on larger cruisers.


The bike also featured a liquid cooled V-twin engine producing 66 horsepower and a flat 47 ft-lbs of torque
throughout most of the rpm range, although the engine was underrated and commonly produced 8-10% more than the advertised power in dynomometer testing. The bike was configured to support an upright riding position with a king/queen
seat and a factory installed backrest.
